Locks of hope

Overview

As part of Focp’s mission, and our belief in the importance of Psychological, and moral support. FoCP is committed to provide wigs to individuals who have undergone Chemotherapy through the “Locks of Hope” campaign. ‘Locks of Hope’ aims to help restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world in a positive outlook. The donated hair is used to create the highest quality of hair prosthetics. The “Locks of Hope” campaign is done in collaboration with DHL.
